All of you kind folks really know how to raise a persons spirits. I believe all of your collective good wishes are paying off. I'm not sure how all of it relates in the great scheme of things but there has to be some connection.

At the moment Badger is staying the night at the vets office. They were able to get him unblocked and now we wait to see how he is in the morning. I'm sure he is scared after all the trauma and now being alone in a strange environment without his sister and the rest of the family. It looks very favorable though that he will not have surgery but I will have to watch him carefully from now on. I'll be at the vets first thing in the morning to check on him and then hopefully Friday he will be able to come home.

Thanks for your collective shoulders to lean on. A BIG thanks to "X Marks the Scot" for allowing me the opportunity to make the post. It may seems foolish to some that a man of my age would be so concerned but there is very little that can tug at my heart the way any helpless creature can.

Cheers! Bill
